That seemed to take most of the light out of Canadiens, and Bos- ton added another for good mea- lllN. with Cowley a n making the play for a neat tally by Roy Oilnacher.

It was the fourth time this sea- m Boston has beaten Canackens, but the Habltants deserved a better lite in their latest reverse. After
